Benefits of getting your MSACS at DSU

We don’t want to brag, but technology is really our area of expertise. At DSU, you’ll work with some of the brightest minds in the field, assisting them in research and gaining an expert mentor to help you succeed.

You’ll also hone your development skills, from coding to troubleshooting, while facing complex issues raised by new and emerging technologies. You’ll use computational analogues and design algorithms to solve problems. You’ll move beyond the theoretical to the real-world application of your knowledge.

Best of all, you’ll be challenged in an academic arena that embraces small class sizes and an individualized approach—all at a public-university cost.

Specializations

You’ll choose a specialization for your MSACS degree, which means you’ll take five additional courses in the topic that interests you the most:

Cyber Operations

Software development

Custom specialization, based on electives such as forensics, cryptography, and hacking

You are welcome to select more than one specialization, or take extra electives if you like.
